Question Seats bottoming out! Why and what's the fix?

What's up with the seats in the SL500. It's like the invisible man is still sitting there and weighs 250lbs. I don't know if you all are having the same problem or this normal - but the foam doesn't rebound from where your *** sits and the leather is, like, seperated from the foam underneath and bunches up. You can take your finger and push it in and out where it's bunching.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and what's the fix. The whole cushion is bottomed out - both sides. I'm only 155lbs and my girl 115lbs. Wish it didn't bother me, but it does.

DIET!

sorry but I had to say it before anyone else did....JK aside, I've never heard something like this before. Maybe you need to replace the seats?
